Start by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting on a chair or a cushion with your back straight.
Close your eyes if you're comfortable doing so.
Begin by taking a few deep breaths.
Inhale,
Slowly through the nose,
Allowing your abdomen to expand fully.
Hold the breath for a moment and then exhale.
Gently through the mouth,
Releasing any tension or stress with the breath.
Take a few moments to scan your body from head to toe.
Notice any areas of discomfort,
Of tension,
Of stress.
And with every breath out,
Imagine releasing any physical tension,
Releasing any mental stress and allowing your muscles to relax and soften.
Visualise yourself now,
Standing barefoot on soft earth,
Feeling the grounding energy rising up through the earth to your feet and to your entire body.
With each breath,
Feel yourself becoming more stable and supported.
Anchor yourself securely to the ground.
Shift your focus to your breath.
Follow the natural rhythm of your breath as it flows in and out.
If your mind starts to wander,
Gently bring your attention back to the sensation of your breath.
As you continue to breathe deeply,
Imagine that each breath is carrying away your anxiety,
Your worry.
With each exhale,
Envision the anxiety leaving your body as a dark cloud.
And now repeat these affirmations to yourself.
I release anxiety and I welcome peace.
I am safe.
I am protected in this moment.
I trust in myself and the process of life.
Repeat these affirmations silently or aloud,
Allowing their positive energy to permeate your being.
I release anxiety and I welcome peace.
I am safe.
I am protected in this moment.
I trust in myself and the process of life.
One last time.
Repeat these affirmations.
I release anxiety.
I release stress and I welcome peace.
I am safe.
I am protected in this moment.
I trust in myself and the process of life.
And now take a moment to be thankful,
To be in gratitude.
For the peace and relaxation you have experienced during the meditation.
When you are ready,
Slowly bring your awareness back to the surroundings.
Wiggle your toes and fingers and take a few deep breaths before opening your eyes.
